Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

You will work closely with our wider Private Client and Dispute Resolution teams, as well as colleagues across the Penn Group, ensuring clients receive a seamless and joined-up professional service.
